The
Molecular Portrait series synthesizes the languages
of printmaking and genetics. Working with dots traditionally
found
in halftone patterns for commercial and photographic printing
processes, I have re-presented the dots as the four nucleotides
that are found in DNA. My
intention is to reveal that growth in science and technology
changes the culture of how we look at ourselves.
